India 140-1 (43 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard


West Indies captain Jason Holder to bowl from the other end. He concentrates on keeping it full and just outside the off-stump, hoping to stick to a good line and length and force the batsmen into making a mistake. But Rahul is very watchful as he decides against playing at anything wide as Holder bowls a maiden over.

Gabriel bowls a short ball to Pujara which jags in sharply as wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich also can't adjust to the late swing as it goes past him for four byes.

West Indies pacers looking to maintain a good line and length and just stick to the basics. Pujara finally gives in to the temptation as he pokes at a wide delivery, only to get an edge which falls short of the fielder at second slip.

Rahul finally gets one in the slot as he leans forward and drives Holder through the covers but gets only two runs in the process and keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

The groundstaff are getting ready as dark clouds starting gathering above Sabina Park, it looks like we could have some rain any moment.

The two Indian batsmen content to leave a lot of deliveries, knowing fully well that after the first few overs when they get their eye in, run scoring would be much more easier.

Holder oversteps to give away a no-ball which Pujara also gets a leg bye from it to bring up the 50-run stand for the second wicket.

Rahul plays another good drive through the covers, timing it nicely as he pockets another couple of runs before taking a single from the last ball.
